  • Neffe Speaks Up! ~ Just Says “No” To Pregnancy

    Mar, 23 2009 | Written by ATLien

    After all the hoopla surrounding Keyshia Cole’s sister, Neffe‘s pregnancy, you woulda thought that chick was carrying the messiah in her belly! First Neffeteria reveals her pregnancy to Sister2Sister’s Jamie Foster Brown, then Mama Frankie hits the Atlanta airwaves and bashes Neffe’s boo Soullow by pretty much saying he’s a deadbeat and then Neffe & Soullow hit the sofa to post a video “response to the media” addressing the pregnancy and discussing the numerical order of her babies and their daddies. *sigh* I’m tired just re-capping the drama…but now that you’ve caught up, Neffe says SLOW YA ROLL…she ain’t preggers!? At least that’s what she says…

    I caught up with Neffe at Aaron Reid’s YEEC showcase and she was adament that while Soullow is her soulmate (she has a big “A”zz tatt to prove it), she is NOT carrying his child….and if she is “so f*cking what?!?” <~ her words. 😆

    Check out her hilarious video attempt(s) to shout out StraightFromTheA.com and more photos of she and Dariel below: Continue Reading…

    O.S.A.M. ~ MrJonz: An ATLien with ‘Flo-Rida’ Connections

    Mar, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I?m Grown Folks. I can go (1,2) waaaaayyyy back in this town. So, while I appreciate a good new release, I tend to listen to Grown Folks Music more often than not. One of my favorite songs by Grown Folks Artist Al Jarreau starts with these words:

    Billy Jones is a mover

    and he has a million plans.

    Wants to be the big improver;

    wants to be a wealthy man.

    There are days when Billy loses hope,

    days when hope loses him.

    He prays he can just hold out

    and one day he will win.

    – from ?Wait For The Magic? off Jarreau’s Tenderness album

    One of my favorite Grown Folks Straight From The A is MrJonz. Who is MrJonz you ask? He’s an Atlanta music producer who’s worked with artists from DJ Kizzy Rock to Jamie Foxx and most recently Flo-Rida. You may not have heard his name but I’m sure you’ve heard his music.

    Me and MrJonz had a little conversation the other day about his roots, his wings and his Atlanta. Check out your weekly Atlanta history lesson in the transcript below: Continue Reading…

    O.S.A.M. ~ Rocko for Mayor!

    Mar, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I caught up with Rocko recently and got a chance to grill him on his favorite O.S.A.M. (Old School Atlanta Memory). Regardless what Killer Mike says about Freaknik, it appears that most true ATLiens can fondly reminisce and reflect about those good ole days riding down Peachtree Street flossin and glossin’.

    Rocko is no exception, his favorite O.S.A.M. took us back to our favorite A-Town Black college reunion and he also suggests to Shirley Franklin (or whoever our next mayor will be) to consider bringing it back.

    Video ~ Rocko Da Don for Mayor!

    When I joked about what candidate he’s supporting, Rocko promptly nominated himself for mayor of Atlanta.

    Watch out y’all…there may be a mayoral upset once he starts his campaign as a write in!

    Happy Friday!!

    Video ~ Neffe & Soullow Respond to Media

    Mar, 20 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Neffe and her fiance’ Soullow hit up her YouTube channel to address the recent controversy regarding her recent pregnancy. Not sure what exactly she set out to accomplish…hell, Frankie said it all on the radio the other day, but it appears that she’s kinda upset about being compared to Octo-mom. She says that God placed these children in her life and she shouldn’t be torn down about it.? As far as Keyshia taking care of their household, Neffe says “think again!”? She’s been holding it down way before Keyshia made it big and she’s still holding it down.

    Soullow didn’t address what Frankie said about him being a moocher, but he did make a statement at the end that he didn’t even know Keyshia and Neffe were sisters until 7 months into their relationship. I guess now that they’ve cleared the air we have nothing further to discuss about these two.? So…back to our regularly scheduled flashback!

    Fabulousness! ~ Purple Door Party Flix

    Mar, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photos by FreddyO

    While Sheree’ Whitfield was somewhere in hiding Saturday night after she ditched her own Divorce Party, the other “housewives” were over at Dwight’s Purple Door Salon partying it up with all the celebrity stylists and their fabulous friends. Of course it wouldn’t be a RHOA party without NeNe Leakes and Lisa Wu Hartwell in the mix! Dwight is still campaigning for his housewife title so Bravo was there to capture it all on tape for the new season.

    Lisa, Dwight & Friends

    I swung through but I was rhett to go in about a minute and a half! Especially after one dude (whose makeup was flawless by the way) asked me about my houndstooth coat and said…“We’re about the same size…I could ROCK that!” *sigh* I knew it was way past time to go!? Although I must say that I LOVES me some Derek J, I could only take so much of men in women’s clothing.

This ain’t reality TV — it’s real life, and it’s getting messy QUICK. And if Todd thought he was gon’ walk off with the kids? Kandi said: “Nah, I want it all.”

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸
